I’m currently wearing the new Midnight Nike Series 7, its black. Black enough to where I’m going to return my Space Black Hermès and save almost $1,000 that I was willing to spend to have a black watch. I don’t see the blue at all. It is darker than the original black sport band.

Thanks for posting this! The case actually seems to be darker than Space Grey was. Can you confirm this?

Yes, way darker. Its darker than my Space Black Stainless Steel due to the Midnight being a matte finish. The SBSS is shiny and reflects light. If someone were to ask me what color midnight is, I’d say matte black. I don’t really see the blue at all. I live in Florida and was in direct sunlight moving my wrist around looking for it to be navy blue, couldn’t see it at all.

Wow, that sounds amazing! I'll go check it out in person tomorrow then. Thanks!

Agree. Got my Nike 45mm Midnight today. For all intent and purposes it’s a really cool matte black. Maybe you see the blue outside in direct sunlight, but inside it looks completely black. I love this color.
 
I’m pretty gutted I cancelled my midnight order now. I was so put off by the blue hue. Hoping I still love starlight when it comes

Agreed. I also picked up the Nike 45mm Midnight and was pleasantly surprised at how dark black it was compared to what was shown on Apples website. Apples pictures make it look more of a bluish color.
